SHED REMOVAL IN TUCSON
We take it down.
We haul it away.
Shed removal is all we do. Wood, metal or resin, falling apart or still standing, we take your Tucson shed apart and leave the space clean.
- Taking the shed apart: roof, walls, doors and floor
- The stuff inside, if you want it gone too
- Loading, haul-away and disposal, with metal and clean wood recycled where it’s accepted
- The slab, gravel pad or footings, if you want them out
- Sweeping and raking the spot clean
We check what Tucson requires for your shed before any work starts, and any power to the shed must be disconnected by a licensed electrician before removal day. The local rules are below.

PERMITS & DIY DISPOSAL
Doing it yourself, or just checking the rules?
Here’s what Tucson asks for before a shed comes down, what city pickup will take, and where you can drop off the debris yourself.
Tucson rules at a glance
Demolition permit
Yes. Tucson requires a permit to demolish any structure, including an unpermitted shed. The fee is $84.26 per 5,000 sq ft plus a filing fee of at least $18.54.
Tucson permit exemptions guide ↗Tucson PDSD fee schedule, FY 2027 ↗
City pickup
Not for a teardown. Brush & Bulky takes lumber cut to 5 feet in its own pile, but it refuses construction material and concrete.
Haul it yourself
Los Reales Landfill (Los Reales Sustainability Campus). Covered load under 2,000 pounds: $18. Covered loads over 2,000 pounds: $38 a ton. Uncovered loads pay $10 more, and every load adds a $2 environmental fee. Special handling: $120 a ton, $78 minimum. Cards or tap only.

Do I need a permit?Tucson demolition rules, utilities and property checks.
The requirements depend on the structure, the work and the property’s jurisdiction. These are the official starting points for checking your job. Confirm with the building office before teardown day. How shed demolition permits work ↗
Any demolition needs a permit
Tucson's permit guide says a permit is required to partially or fully demolish a building, structure or exterior wall, including unpermitted structures. It lists no size exemption for demolition. Apply through Tucson Development Center Online, or call Planning and Development Services at (520) 791-5550.
Tucson permit exemptions guide ↗Tucson residential permits ↗
What the permit costs
The fee schedule effective July 1, 2026 sets exterior demolition at $84.26 per 5,000 sq ft of area demolished, per floor, so a backyard shed falls in the first bracket. A digital filing fee of 1% of the total, with an $18.54 minimum, is added. In a Historic Preservation Zone, a minor staff review of $122.85 also applies.
Tucson PDSD fee schedule, FY 2027 ↗Tucson PDSD fee schedule page ↗
Asbestos rules rarely reach one shed
Pima County DEQ, not the city, enforces the federal asbestos rule here. Its guide says demolishing a single residential building is not covered, but several residential buildings torn down on one site as one project are. Where the rule applies, the county requires notice and an asbestos activity permit. Call PDEQ at (520) 724-7400 if an old shed has cement siding or tar roofing you are unsure about.

Can I dispose of it myself?City pickup rules, drop-off options and fees for shed debris.
Will Tucson pick up shed debris?
Not a torn-down shed. Brush & Bulky comes twice a year and takes up to 10 cubic yards, including lumber and scrap metal cut to 5 feet, with lumber in a separate pile. Construction material, concrete, and dirt or gravel are refused. A special pickup can be ordered any time for $95 per 10 cubic yards at 520-791-3171, under the same rules.

Drop-off and recycling options

Only the city collects household trash; big haulers need a city truck permit
Tucson Code Sec. 15-16 bars anyone but the city from collecting refuse or recyclables from a home. The code defines refuse as garbage that fits standard containers and lists construction and demolition debris as a separate kind of solid waste, so the rule reads as covering household trash, not shed teardown debris, though the code doesn't say so outright. Sec. 15-70 adds a $1,000-a-year per-vehicle permit for haulers running front-load, rear-load, side-load or roll-off trucks; fleets of three or fewer such trucks are exempt from the fee. Pickups and trailers aren't named.

Pima County licenses waste haulers
Pima County says waste haulers must get Pima County DEQ licenses for the business and for each collection vehicle before operating in the county, and it tells residents to hire a hauler with a permit. The county page doesn't say whether this reaches junk removal crews working inside Tucson city limits.
Historic zones and older sheds get extra review
Demolitions in Tucson's five Historic Preservation Zones (Armory Park, Barrio Historico, El Presidio, Fort Lowell and West University) go through a full review that ends with Mayor and Council approval and starts with an on-site meeting. Anywhere in the city, a structure 50 or more years old needs minor architectural documentation approved before the permit is issued, and the city's form covers secondary structures. Questions go to PDSDHistoric@tucsonaz.gov.
Cover the load on city streets
Tucson Code makes it a civil infraction to haul refuse on a street without a securely fastened cover such as a tarp or netting. Los Reales also charges $10 extra for an uncovered load.
Tucson Code ch. 15, art. IV: Sec. 15-10.4 ↗Los Reales Sustainability Campus ↗
Photos that explain the job.
- The whole shed, with the roof, doors and rough dimensions
- What it sits on: slab, gravel, pavers, skids or blocks
- The route out: gates, steps, slopes and the narrowest gap
- Anything stored inside, and any wiring, lights or a water line
Tell us whether the shed has power. A licensed electrician should disconnect and make the circuit safe before teardown. Say which items stay, and whether the slab or footings go too.

Shed Gone
Priced from your photosA small empty resin shed and a large timber shed on a concrete slab are different jobs, so we don’t publish one number. The price depends on the shed’s size and material, what’s inside, what it sits on, and the route from the shed to the truck.

Only LoadUp publishes a shed price for Tucson: $94 to $1,559 for a shed in Pima County, set when you book.

COMMON QUESTIONS
A few more answers.
How much does shed removal cost in Tucson?
Shed Gone prices each shed from your photos, with teardown, haul-away and cleanup included. Among other companies, LoadUp shows $94 to $1,559 for a shed in Pima County, lower if it's already taken apart. Vista Clean lists general loads from $150 for a quarter trailer to $450 for a full trailer, and says heavy material like concrete costs more. Hero Junk Removal says its firm quote includes labor and disposal. Add the city's demolition permit to any total.
LoadUp: Tucson Shed Removal ↗Vista Clean pricing ↗Hero Junk Removal shed demolition ↗
Can I haul the pieces to the landfill myself?
Yes. Los Reales takes construction debris from residents at $18 for a covered load under 2,000 pounds, plus a $2 fee, and accepts cards only. On the east side, Tank's Speedway Recycling & Landfill lists construction and demolition debris but posts no rates; call (520) 290-8588. Up north, Catalina Transfer Station charges $27.60 per vehicle under a ton.
Los Reales Sustainability Campus ↗Tank's Green Stuff: recycling and landfill ↗Pima County waste facilities guide (WM) ↗
Where can a metal shed go?
The Los Reales Recycling Center takes scrap metal from residents at no charge. Its list includes metal fencing without concrete posts but not chain-link, so take the panels apart and pull any concrete first.
My shed has power. What changes?
Have the circuit made safe before the teardown. Bearded Junk Removal won't start until a licensed professional disconnects power. Tucson's guide says permits are usually required for hardwired systems, so ask Planning and Development Services at (520) 791-5550 whether removing the circuit needs its own permit.
Bearded Junk Removal Tucson shed removal ↗Tucson permit exemptions guide ↗
What about the concrete slab?
Bearded Junk Removal takes a shed down to the slab and treats slab removal as a separate heavy-haul job. Brush & Bulky refuses concrete, but Los Reales lists concrete and asphalt among accepted waste.
Bearded Junk Removal Tucson shed removal ↗Tucson Brush & Bulky collection ↗Los Reales Sustainability Campus ↗
I'm putting up a new shed. Does that need a permit too?
Yes. Tucson requires a permit for every shed regardless of size, mainly to keep sheds out of front yards and within setbacks. A shed under 200 sq ft with no utilities needs only a site plan; larger or wired sheds need building plans too.
Will the crew take what's inside the shed?
Usually. Vista Clean says it clears the contents and the structure in the same visit, and Bearded gives a combined quote for emptying and demolishing. Paint, oil and pesticides don't belong in the truck; Tucson residents can take them to the free household hazardous waste site at Los Reales.
